Built for seamless compatibility with your Apple devices, the Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch Keyboard for Mac, iPad and iPhone also offers convenience. The keyboard pairs wirelessly over Bluetooth with a Mac, iPad or iPhone so you can type from up to 30' away from your device. It also includes a dedicated button for switching between each connected device so you can toggle between them. This allows you to type on your Mac, take notes on an iPad, then reply to a text on your iPhone.

The keyboard features laser-etched, backlit keys so you can see them easily even in low light or darkness. Illumination automatically adjusts to the environment, and can be manually adjusted as well. The keyboard can be recharged using the included USB cable, and a charge can last anywhere from 10 days to one year.

Great Little KeyboardThe Logitech 811 is a great little backlit keyboard that that recharges with a USB cable and your computer. I like the idea of not having to constantly buy batteries and the keyboard lasts a very long time between charges. It pairs well both both my Mac Pro running OSX 10.9.1 and my Wacom Companion Tablet reining Windows 8.1 Pro. With three separate Bluetooth pairing keys, you don't have to constantly go through the pairing process when switching devices. The backlit keys make typing in a dimly lit room very easy. I've only had it for a week but so far it's an excellent product.

Great Apple Keyboard Replacementso i'm coming from the point of view of a avid apple bluetooth keypboard user and this is a great replacement. at work i use a few different machines at a single time and my desk had a few keyboards and mice on it. now i narrowed it down to only one keyboard and its even better then the apple ones. I was scared that the backlight was going to drain battery like crazy but it turns off after a bit . once it detects motion it comes back to life. also i like that when you switch what machine you are on it wakes it up.

Works amazingly.Just to show you how boss this keyboard is, I actually TYPED THIS with the actual keyboard! This keyboard was an upgrade from another already great bluetooth keyboard by Logitech that I've used for all my iPhones from the 3G to the 4 to my current 5. I use bluetooth keyboards to handle all typing from my phone, included but not limited to texting, emailing, and web browsing. I honestly find it a must and more convenient when you multi-task between contacting people and agencies for shoots & business while you're busy on the computer doing something else! What I love about this keyboard is the build. It is lighter than the previous keyboard I had (made of plastic). This one has a durable, yet lightweight body of aluminum. Another upgraded feature is the backlit keyboard that I know take advantage of. I answer anywhere from at least 20 emails on a daily basis, many containing over 1000 characters roughly, including call sheets, details, and such. I don't have time to open up my computer all the time just to login to my email, nor do I have time to spend on tapping my on-screen keyboard to compose lengthy messages that need to be sent to clients, agencies, and associates. For the sake of productivity, a bluetooth keyboard is a MUST-HAVE and this keyboard is a TREAT. There are also shortcut keys to take advantage of, including keyboard shortcuts that we are all familiar, such as copy, paste, cut, select all, select by words, etc. To be a boss, stay efficient. Get this keyboard for digital communicating and get on with your tasks! It's got a great typing feel, quiet keystroke, on/off switch for the backlight, built-in USB-charged battery that lasts 3 months or so, and it's highly compact. You'll love it. =
